Ansu Fati is considering leaving Barcelona due to a lack of playing time. The 22-year-old forward was left out of the squad for the recent match against Valencia, and the club has advised him to find a team where he can get more regular minutes.
Details: Turkish side Beşiktaş, managed by Solskjaer, made an offer to take Fati on loan with a buy option about two weeks ago, but the player initially declined, hoping for interest from clubs in Europe’s top leagues.
Now, the "heir to Messi" appears more open to negotiations with Beşiktaş if the Turkish club improves its offer. In Istanbul, they believe that Fati’s lack of game time at Barcelona could make talks more favorable. Notably, the transfer window in Turkey remains open until February 11.
Reminder: Last season, Fati spent a loan spell at Brighton, while this campaign, he has featured in only eight matches for the Blaugrana without registering any goal contributions.
